In 2003, Youngyu debuted as a child actress in the 2003 drama 남과 여 - 속세를 떠납시다 which aired on SBS. Youngyu debuted as an idol at the age of 5 in the kids girl group 7Princess on November 25, 2004 with the release of their debut studio album, Winter... Spring, Summer, Autumn.
She was a first generation member and remained until the second generation before taking her leave from the kids group in 2005. Following her departure, Youngyu continued to work as a child actress for over a decade. During this time Youngyu came to be regarded as one of the best child actresses of the mid to late 2000s.
In between working roles as an actress, Youngyu got to release her first and only digital single, "Lovely", which was released on December 5, 2008. In July 2017, Youngyu appeared as an contestant in the reality competitive reality show, Idol School. She was eliminated from the show in Episode 4 with her final rank being 32th place.

Since 2018, Youngyu has had no roles in any dramas or films, suggesting a retirement or a break from acting. However, she had been posting videos of her dancing in studios, which hinted that she is currently a trainee under an unrevealed company.
On August 10, 2020, Youngyu officially confirmed on an Instagram live that she is preparing to debut in a four-member girl group. During the live, she also revealed that the girl group's name will contain 'ㅇㄴㅌㅈ'. On May 10, 2021, Youngyu revealed the identities of her fellow members through a dance video, which showed herself, Park Jinhee, Oh Sumin, and Kim Sohyun.
In October 2021, Youngyu along with Jinhee, Sumin and Sohyun appeared as group contestants on the competitive reality show, Kookmin Singer.

In a YouTube video uploaded by Youngyu in late 2021, she revealed that the debut plans for Seasoning had been cancelled, thus the girl group disbanded.
